Twenty-four year old rapper, Peter Jackson, now based in the Durham region, was born and raised in Ajax, Ontario, a small suburb just outside of Toronto. Jackson initially became attracted to the rap industry in his teens. What started as a childhood hobby of freestyling in friends’ basements soon became an obsession. While Jackson would have to struggle to gain respect for his talent in a town that was better known for its punk bands, such as Sum41 he soon began to make a name for himself. <a h

Quotes

  • Fantasy is an 'F' word that hopefully the five second delay won't do anything with
  • I don't take stuff seriously. I saw 'Hellraiser 3' the other day at Cannes; it's OK, it's a good film, I didn't hate it or anything. I thought it was quite good, but it was all just so serious. Some guy walking round with pins sticking out of his face. I just can't sit there and think ,'this is really scary.' If I made a 'Hellraiser' film, I'd like Pinhead to be whacked against a wall and have all the pins flattened into his face.
  • And so I look back on not just the last ten years but everything that I've done as being sort of an ongoing growing continual film school. I mean I don't think I've got to a point where I've achieved anything that feels like, a particular milestone, but there's still a lot more to learn and hopefully a lot more films to make.
  • Kong bites his head off in a PG13 kinda way
  • I'm a Derek and Dereks don't run
  • Remember, pain is temporary; film is forever.

Peter Jackson (alias The black Prince; * 3. Juli 1861 in Frederiksted auf Saint Croix, damals dänische Westindische Inseln, heute Amerikanische Jungferninseln; † 13. Juli 1901 in Roma, Australien) war ein dunkelhäutiger Schwergewichtsboxer. Er lebte überwiegend in Australien. Er war – neben Harry Wills – einer von zwei überragenden Boxern, die aufgrund ihrer Hautfarbe nie um den Schwergewichtstitel boxen konnten. 1882 begann er seine Profikarriere in Australien. In seiner besten Zeit verlor er nur einmal; er war mehrfach australischer Schwergewichtsmeister. 1888 boxte er erstmals in den USA. Doch John L. Sullivan weigerte sich, gegen ihn anzutreten. 1891 boxte er gegen den zukünftigen Herausforderer James J. Corbett in einem Mehrstundenkampf, der ohne Entscheidung wegen beidseitiger Erschöpfung nach 61 Runden abgebrochen wurde. Corbett schlug später Sullivan locker und leicht. Am Ende seiner Karriere diente er James J. Jeffries 1898 als Aufbaugegner und ging KO. 1901 verstarb er in Australien an Tuberkulose. Im Jahr 1990 wurde er in die International Boxing Hall of Fame aufgenommen.
